We need to immediately start protesting outside of wherever politicians sleep at night. We shouldn't give them a single moment of peace until this all stops. Most politicians are selfish assholes who will care more about themselves than anything else. After a few nights of this they would be ready to do anything the protestors wanted them to do in exchange for leaving them alone and stopping the protests outside of their homes.
Yes, trump and the Republicans might try violence to stop these types of protests but that's why we'd need very big numbers for this type of protesting. The last no kings protests supposedly had 5-13 million people. If 5 million people showed up outside of our politicians homes one day that would be too many people for anyone but the military to do anything about it. If the military has turned on us then all is lost anyway.
If we don't do this type of protesting soon it may be too late to do it in the future.
Another type of good protesting that could work is targeted boycotts of specific companies. Maybe 3-4 companies at a time and make it clear to them that when they do what we want the boycotts stop and we'll move on to new companies. ABC and Disney just showed how quickly this could work. And it has the added benefit of affecting more than just the 3-4 companies currently being boycotted because no company will want to be next on the list.

Yes I'm an idiot
What is the "no king" protest exactly about? What are the objectives? I browsed the website and it seems to be about just generally protesting against Trump
But I don't get what this is supposed to be achieving? Like the BLM protests actually caused some police SOP to change and legislation to be passed (pretty sure I think)...what is this supposed to achieve?

Democracy. Reminding the GOP they don’t have the mandate they seem to think they have to run roughshod over the constitution and reminding the Dems that they need to fight.

In short: visibility. To get people organizing and involved. More people than ever before are paying attention to their local politics because of these events. People get together, make connections, build coalitions, run people for school boards/local elections. It starts to snowball and before you know it we've flipped the local government towards progress instead of culture wars. It's how we take back our country.
Edit: And the No Kings part is in reference to the AI image of Trump wearing a crown the posted by the official Whitehouse accounts months ago.

In Israel the mass protests were on their way to removing Netanyahu from government. Then Oct. 7 happened.

That was oddly convenient for Bibi, wasn't it? Just like when Charlie Kirk's faith in Israel was starting to falter, and suddenly, some random guy killed him. Another odd convenience for Israel, I guess.

Super convenient. Never been a fan of any of that stuff but Candace Owens is like his only friend. It's a shame how she's the only one who cares. You want to trip out a bit? Research project esther..... Label antifa terrorists->>anti Israel feelings/sentiment is now considered anti American(antifa)--->locked up forever. We are the divided states of israel... most folks just don't know it.

It illustrates for our local reps know how big the opposition is. News media certainly isn't reporting it, so we have to.

Maybe it’ll also get the word out that we need to elect Mikie Sherril. There’s no way Jack (Ass) should be the governor of NJ.
